Nice Place

The place was clean, with plenty of hot water and decent water pressure. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. We were not disturbed by the trains. The wood pile was very nice. Paul, one of the owners, was very helpful. He was the right combination of helpful and available, but not intrusive. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Friends and family in town for a wedding

We drank beer by the fire, hung out on the deck, cooked breakfasts, drank coffee and went to the lakeshore! Great location to our wedding venue at Blissful Barn. Bakeries, antique shopping was so much fun! This place has provided us with a great memory of friends and family. Our dog was comfortable too! Host Paul was very kind and accommodates us well!

Great Location and good for families

This is a great location and was a good place for our family to gather for the weekend. The place was clean and we enjoyed the open room. Close to the private beach access and walkable to food. The new owners are working on providing additional amenities but a great place to relax with family.
